"Is the world in danger?"
Tang Yin looked puzzled. "Master, the entire East Continent is now covered by the human network. Although the Demon Palace hasn't suffered much damage, we have suppressed it. If we are talking about the situation, we should have the upper hand. How can it be dangerous?"
"Who told you that our five major sects have the upper hand?"
Chang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Except for the beginning, when our various sects took the initiative to purge the traitors and destroy the Incense Hall, the rest was just us being led by the nose by the Demon Hall.
We followed them wherever they appeared, but there was no real progress, and we didn't even know what they were doing.
Dongzhou is much more peaceful under the coverage of the human network, but the astrological signs show the exact opposite, and the situation is getting worse and worse. Now that the blood signs have appeared, I am afraid there is no way to save the situation. Alas..."
When Tang Yin heard this, she suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Master, it seems that Senior Brother Tang was ambushed when he went to collect the Sheng Ji statue this time. He went straight to the main peak hall as soon as he returned. He must have gained something."
Upon hearing this, Master Chang Yan was startled at first, then he looked up at the Heaven Monitoring Realm. Seeing that the stars had not changed at all, he shook his head and sighed, "It's useless. This won't change the situation at all."
Tang Yin seemed to be infected by Master Chang Yan's emotions, and frowned: "Then Master, what do you think can turn the tide of the battle?"
"An anomaly."
Master Chang Yan spat out two words without hesitation, "The Demon Palace and the Underworld have joined forces. There must be a master guiding them. Every step is calculated, and some of the secrets of heaven have been concealed, making it impossible for me to make a detailed calculation.
Now, only if an outlier who is not part of any calculation takes action can there be a glimmer of hope."
Tang Yin was confused and asked, "Who is that odd number? I'll go and invite him now."
Upon hearing this, Master Chang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If I could figure out who he is, then he wouldn't be an anomaly."
"You don't know either?"
Tang Yin was stunned. "How do we find it then? Palace Master and the other elders, don't you want to think of a solution?"
"The stars are strange, how can they be willing to believe it?"
Chang Yan Zhenren couldn't suppress his anger when he said this: "They actually said that it was because my master messed around with the Heaven Monitoring Mirror that this scene appeared, and it has nothing to do with the disaster in Dongzhou."
"How could this be? Master, you have been in charge of the Heaven Monitoring Mirror for hundreds of years and have never made a mistake. The Palace Master and his men are really going too far!"
Tang Yin was extremely angry, but at the same time she realized that her master's miserable state was probably not entirely due to astrology, but more due to the lack of trust from the hall master and the elders, which made him sad.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, it will only cause trouble."
Master Chang Yan stood up and waved his hand, "You can go down, I want to be alone for a while."
Seeing this, Tang Yin hurriedly said, "Master, I have something to report to you. Senior Sister's daughter Luo Sheng is outside. Would you like to meet her?"
"My little disciple is here?"
Master Chang Yan's face lit up with joy, but then he saw his haggard appearance with bloodshot eyes in the mirror and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Master, I'm afraid that this look of mine will scare that little fellow to tears. See you in two days."
After saying this, Master Chang Yan flicked his sleeves and walked into the inner hall.
"Farewell, Master."
After Tang Yin finished her worship, she looked up and saw the stars in the celestial mirror. She sighed softly and turned to leave.
Xiang Sheng temporarily stayed in the mountains, and the disciple in charge specially chose a quiet residence for him to avoid being disturbed by others.
Because of the relationship with Luo Qingyun, the disciple in charge was not on guard. Through indirect inquiries, Xiang Sheng obtained a lot of information related to Master Chang Yan.
As she expected, Master Chang Yan was a powerful Yuanying stage cultivator, and he was very old. Eighty percent of his thousand-year lifespan had already passed. He was one of the oldest elders in the Qianxing Palace.
When it comes to his specific strength, the disciple in charge has no idea how deep it is, because Master Chang Yan prefers to deduce rather than fight, and he has not fought for hundreds of years.
However, even if his fighting ability is average, the basic strength of the Nascent Soul stage is far beyond the peak of the Core Formation stage, which is far beyond what Xiang Sheng can compare with now. Moreover, he is inferior to Xiang Sheng in seizing treasures from other people's territory.
The Master Chang Yan mentioned by Luo Qingyun has a kind and affectionate personality. If Luo Qingyun can borrow the Heaven-Monitoring Mirror, it should not be too difficult.
I just don't know how long it will take for Luo Qingyun to come out of seclusion. If it takes too long...
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's eyebrows suddenly moved, and he pointed at the mountain peak outside the window, "Sister Manager, what is that place? Why is it so desolate?"
The disciple in charge looked in the direction indicated and immediately said, "Don't be fooled by the desolate appearance of that hilltop. It is actually the location of the secret hall of our Thousand Star Hall. Only the elders of the hall are qualified to go up there and discuss the hall's secrets."
Xiang Sheng nodded suddenly, then pressed his brows and said, "Sister Steward, I want to rest for a while. You can go and do your work. You don't have to stay with me all the time."
"Well, this is your first time going out so far from the mountain, so you must be very tired. Rest well."
The disciple in charge gave some instructions and turned to leave. Before leaving, he considerately closed the door of the guest house.
As soon as the man left, the sleepy look on Xiang Sheng's face immediately faded away. He casually threw down a warning barrier behind the guest house door, then turned into a stream of light and went straight to the secret hall.
The secret hall is a strategic location, and the mountain protection formation is much higher than that of ordinary mountains, but it is useless in front of the "Deceiving Heaven" formation.
He used the array plate to break open a corner and slipped into it. After a moment of silence, seeing that there was no reaction, he continued to practice the Breath-Condensing Technique and moved towards the sensed location.
As the distance got closer, a strong smell of incense came out from the gap of the secret hall's tightly closed door, accompanied by the faint sound of vague conversation.
There were so many magic arrays on the temple door that he couldn't get through, and even if he opened the door he couldn't avoid the noise. Xiang Sheng walked around and found a skylight on the roof of the temple, broke through the array and got in.
